Toni Mardirossian, Kevin Moot and Jimmy Paulino, who previously won the Region 8 championship of the National Trial Competition, competed in the national championship in Houston over the weekend… and finished third out of 14 teams!!
Well, at least somebody at this law school is highly ranked. :) Seriously, congrats to Toni, Kevin and Jimmy!
CLARIFICATION: When I say “third out of 14,” I was referring to the 14 who advanced to nationals. When you consider all the teams who participated at all stages, they were actually third out of 280 teams from 150 different law schools!
No indeed, there isn’t. I was just making a joke (hence the smiley face) about the ranking thing, since it’s practically all anybody’s been talking about here on the blog the last week or so.
I meant 14 teams at the nationals, which I believe is correct because there are 14 regions, according to the map on the TYLA site… but please correct me if I’m wrong…
Brendan, thanks for the post, it was a great time!

There is no doubt that this law school has very capable students and very capable professors.
